About the book
The Moro revolts from the American conquest to the eve of martial law, by the historian who would lead the National Historical Institute.
Samuel K. Tan's study of Moro armed resistance from the start of American rule in 1900 to 1972, the year martial law was declared, was published by the Filipinas Foundation in 1977. It runs to about 200 pages. Tan had earlier covered the years up to 1941 in The Muslim Armed Struggle in the Philippines, 1900–1941 (1973).
Tan, born in Siasi, Sulu, in 1933 of Chinese, Tausug and Sama parentage, taught history at the University of the Philippines for 3 decades and later chaired the National Historical Commission. He wrote more than 20 books, many of them on the history of the Muslim South.
